Alicia Keys plays for causes close to her heart

(celebrity-gossip.net) - For all of you Alicia Keys fans out there, November is a big month.  Back on the 13th, she released her new album "As I Am" and this week she 's played at The Early Show and the WGA strike.

The "Falling" singer told interviewer Hannah Storm that the songs from her new album came from a newfound confidence.  "There has been an overall feeling that I've come into my own. That's why I named this album: 'As I Am' because this is really who I am."

Keys said that her whirlwind world-traveling experience earlier this year helped her gain the perspective she needed to be more self-assured.  "I saw all these temples, and tombs, and pyramids and I learned that we as people are really so powerful and it's all in our mind.  We can really create and have anything that we want. That's what I learned and that's why I came back and made this music."

And Alicia is using her star power to leverage some support for charitable causes, including Keep a Child Alive, and AIDS charity.  "I consider myself a child of the world.  We need attention to have better school situations. We need attention even all the way in Africa with my organization."
